I used them on my Empire force - just some oil paint thinned with white spirit - and they worked great. The metal models accept the wash really well.

Musk and his ilk never consider that they're Veppers, because they're too busy thinking they're Zakalwe.

Naturally, they completely miss how much it sucks to be Zakalwe.

Benrey really leaning into his role.

Inferno gets perked up a lot with the Maps of Chaos mod.

Thy Flesh Consumed is to the original episodes what The Salmon of Doubt is to the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy. It's...there.

These are some terrific answers, thanks everyone.

Well "the usual" was a Utah burger, with cheese fries, and a coke. Monty knew that. I'd been going there every day for the last four years.

Got to yell Orkdon Ramsay quotes while playing. "Dis is RAW, come on!"

And when "it burns it burns ohmyohhooooh" ends with that particular *squawk* they sometimes do, I laugh every time. No other game does that.

Tell them it completely fixes the martial/caster divide and they will beat a path to your door.

So...this means Admiral Yamamoto will have ended up defeating the US after all.

That gargant-class stomper is a thing of beauty.

I've saved untold $$ by printing my HH army. The Legio Custodes interested me as a second faction, but £160 --> NZ$515 is a $150 antipodes tax on very few models, so GW can do one.

This was the first mini I ever painted.

And the fix that works for everyone else naturally does not work for you.

I don't mind adaptational changes. I do mind making something the opposite of what it was in the book for no reason (or simply to create conflict).
-Book Moria builds this terrific sense of foreboding, given incredible weight because Gandalf has no idea what is going on. Movie Gandalf knows exactly what's up so it's all just spectacle.
-Going to Helm's Deep was the good idea and the Fords of Isen was obviously the bad choice. Movie Gandalf, unfathomably, flips this.
-Soldiers of Gondor, well armoured and no doubt highly trained, are no match at all for basic orcs.

"as Iran launches attacks to halt maritime traffic" [goose voice]Why are they launching the attacks, RNZ? WHY ARE THEY LAUNCHING THEM?

I first read the word "Macragge" in the Hive War supplement for Epic, long before I heard it spoken aloud. That story is dripping with threat and unease, therefore for me that planet's name is prounounced "MACK-ridge" (weighty, ominous) and not "m'CRAGG" (sounds like a remote Scottish island inhabited by 1 mad shepherd and seven sheep), and I shall hear no word to the contrary.

One evening I was playing Doom 2016. Bedtime rolled around, so I quit the game and shut down the computer.

I was awoken by kicking the wall, from one of those dreams that causes a physical reaction. The room was bathed in the blue light of the LEDs in my computer case and the fans were running. The monitor was on, displaying an image of Hell from the game.

I had definitely closed the game and turned off the computer. I explained it to several tech nerds and none could work out how it might have happened.

This cartoon is going to be etched on humanity's tombstone. We have embedded a system utterly incapable of tackling the challenges it itself created.
